Gifted and Talented

Оказывается, программа для одаренных учеников в Нью-Йорке была "controversial".

Туда попадало две с половиной тысячи школьников в год из шестидесяти пяти тысяч. А теперь, как там обещают, “Brilliant NYC will deliver accelerated instruction for tens of thousands of children, as opposed to a select few. Every New York City child deserves to reach their full potential, and this new, equitable model gives them that chance.”

То есть там теперь все одаренные, в результате указа мэра. Черт, где я это читал? Читал ведь, давно, еще в русском переводе.

К этому.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on Friday announced a major breakthrough on corporate tax rates, after years of disagreement.

The group of developed nations agreed to a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%. This marks a huge shift for smaller economies, such as the Republic of Ireland, which have attracted international firms — to a large extent — via a lower tax rate.

“The landmark deal, agreed by 136 countries and jurisdictions representing more than 90% of global GDP, will also reallocate more than USD 125 billion of profits from around 100 of the world’s largest and most profitable MNEs to countries worldwide, ensuring that these firms pay a fair share of tax wherever they operate and generate profits,” the OECD said in a statement Friday.

А то "не, не может быть, не смогут они договориться", ага. Договорились, полугода не прошло.
